A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

The opposite is to perform rituals for Bodhisattvas. Naturally, the earlier the better, the two can go hand in hand.

Zhang Lan thought in his heart that his medical skills were enough, but this was what he was looking at from his own perspective.

Seeing the look in his mother's eyes, Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "I'll prepare in the next two days to see if I can do it. I haven't done any rituals in this area before, so I have to ask someone."

The reason why Zhang Lan didn't say the right thing is that he hasn't made a decision yet on how to do this. I didn't pay attention to what the process will be like at that time. Now I ask Zhang Lan to tell me how to do it. I can't create it all. , but also to see how others do it.

"Okay, I'll come back in two days. I'll prepare the necessary things at home these two days. Zhang Lan, what do you think you need to prepare?"

"No need to come over, just ask my mother to call you when the time comes. If there is anything that needs to be purchased in the meantime, I will tell you then. I'm not sure yet what specific things are needed, so I'll tell you later." Zhang Lan wasn't sure what to say, so he planned to wait until he checked the information before speaking.

After the people left, Zhang Lan's mother asked Zhang Lan what she was going to do about this matter. Zhang Lan looked at the information he checked on his mobile phone, thought about it and said, "I'll think about this first, and we'll talk about the specific steps later."

During the past two days at home, there was an endless stream of people offering incense in the yard next to her. In her spare time, Zhang Lan would use her meritorious spiritual eyes to carefully observe the aura of the yard next to her.

After observing for a period of time, Zhang Lan had a plan in mind. However, it turned out that Zhang Lan wanted to take his time and see the situation. But now if he has the name of doing something, Zhang Lan feels that he has an idea of ​​what he can do.

In traditional concepts, the feudal thought of "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is having no offspring" has a huge influence. The concept of passing on the family line and continuing the incense is deeply rooted, so the ancients were proud of having children early. In ancient times, people had no scientific understanding of the pregnancy process. They often believed that pregnancy had supernatural powers, which led to the formation of some folk customs of praying for children. People often prayed for children when they became pregnant late after marriage.

There are many ways to pray for a child, including making money, giving up rice, tying a doll, etc. There are also ways to pray for a child by worshiping gods and making wishes.

Sometimes the woman praying for a child goes in person to worship gods, make wishes and pray for a child, and sometimes her mother-in-law does it instead. The person praying for a child comes to the statue of the god, first burns a stick of incense, kowtows and prays, talks about the pain of childlessness, expresses the wish for a child, and finally promises that if he can have a child, he must fulfill his wish, or give money or gifts, or even reshape the child. There are various kinds of golden bodies, etc., each with its own promise. If a woman does not get pregnant after praying for a child, she does not dare to blame the gods, let alone talk nonsense, and has no choice but to burn incense. If it still doesn't work, just change to another temple. Anyway, there are many statues of the Goddess of Mercy in the world. Although she is one god, she has countless clones. Just change it and pray again.

According to the ritual information about begging for a child and heir that Zhang Lan checked, when praying to gods and making wishes, the person praying for a child asks others to help him make the request, just like in modern times, he seeks a middleman to smoothen the relationship before doing anything.

The first thing to do when praying for a child is to choose an auspicious day, and the intermediary will write a few words with ink on yellow paper. Put the Dharma seal on it, and the Dharma seal can be placed on the final place of your name. Then, set up an altar and this method can be performed during the day or night. After setting up the altar, place the offerings, burn incense and wax paper, and recite the incantation. When reciting the incantation, be sure to invite the main god of the offering. Ask the gods to help you in the underworld, ask for a son to succeed you, and ask how you can fulfill your vows after you get a son and repay God's favor. The middleman can help the person asking for a child to ask the gods to ask for a child, burn the text, and kowtow three times on behalf of the person asking for a child. Then burn incense and wax paper to thank the teacher and send God farewell.

The middlemen are basically played by people such as the temple priests of the gods they worship. What Zhang Lan has to think about at this time is what role he should play under the Bodhisattva's seat when the time comes to do something.

This is completely different from the usual practice of using the name of a Bodhisattva to treat people's illnesses. The Bodhisattva Zhang Lan worships at that time has access to heaven and has miraculous powers.

At this time, when Zhang Lan wants to play a role, the first thing she has to consider is what position she has given herself. When Zhang Lan prays, he should explain his identity in what capacity he should pray.

It is possible to say "disciple of Bodhisattva", but this term is too general. Zhang Lan's purpose is to take the opportunity to establish a clearer concept.

It can be regarded as a precautionary measure. Zhang Lan will definitely not think too much about it in the short term, and there may not be any big changes in the next few decades.

But as time goes by, she gets older and older, her peers around her get older one by one, and her children gradually grow up. At that time, Zhang Lan will have to consider her future path.

There is always a way forward, but no matter where you end up, it’s never too much to have a better starting point.

Zhang Lan originally thought about it in his mind for two days. His plan in his mind was to take advantage of the fact that the extraordinary world is now extinct and the world is in the end of the Dharma era. He first made a statue of himself. Not to mention what will happen in the future, at least he can borrow some help now. .

But what role does the Bodhisattva have? It has been almost acquiesced by now. Zhang Lan can't just quietly set up a statue next to it and say that this is a boy or a fairy under the Bodhisattva's seat, who is in charge of something. .

It is certainly possible to do this, but someone must believe it.

In the age of the end of the Dharma, and in the context of modern society, no one will care about setting up a temple for obscenities, but if you want to spread the name of the righteous god on a large scale, you are thinking too much.

It is said that it is very simple to become a god, but in modern society, with the widespread circulation of information. It has almost become impossible to achieve the goal of becoming a god after death through people's recognition.

And under the current social system, this situation will not be allowed to happen again. That's why Zhang Lan came up with the idea of ​​getting a statue for himself and standing next to it to see what the difference was. In ancient times, it was a taboo for a living person to become a god. After Zhang Lan had this idea, he wanted to try it. try.

Zhang Lan didn't just want to give it a try. His purpose was that if he could successfully erect the statue with the Bodhisattva's attention, if Zhang Lan wanted to further develop through merit in the future, he would have the confidence in his mind. .

Sometimes people can't have thoughts. As soon as a thought comes up, Zhang Lan feels like she can't sleep at night. Outsiders may not know the situation, but Zhang Lan really knows why the Bodhisattva he invited in the yard next to him is so effective.

Now Zhang Lan is thinking about creating his own role in front of the Bodhisattva statue in this situation. Once he succeeds, he will be almost like a civil servant now.

It's just a name, and it's a completely different concept than having an establishment. Zhang Lan was thinking about joining the list, but couldn't think of any suitable excuse. It was easy to put it out there, but how to get everyone to admit it, and how to get the Bodhisattvas above to recognize it, was not an easy matter. (End of chapter)
